As the baby grows older, the mother will start considering weaning. When weaning, the traditional method is to apply something on the milk, so what should be applied to the milk that the baby won't eat?
Mom can apply some bitter things on her nipples, such as bitter melon juice. However, this mandatory weaning method is not recommended. Although it can prevent babies from breastfeeding for a short period of time, it can also cause them to develop aversion to the food in their mouths. To weaned, one should master scientific weaning methods:
1. Physical examination before weaning
Whether the baby is suitable for weaning, it is best to first go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to understand the baby's physical condition, digestive ability, and whether it is suitable for weaning.
2. Reduce the frequency and amount of breastfeeding
Weaning is a long process that cannot be achieved in just one or two days. Mothers who want to weaned should not immediately cut off their breast milk. They should gradually reduce the frequency and amount of breastfeeding, and can also add complementary foods appropriately. They can choose different types of foods to try for their babies.
3. The weaning process lasts from day to night
When it comes to weaning a baby, the mother will find that the baby is more dependent on breast milk. When a mother stops breastfeeding, she can start from breastfeeding during the day because the baby's dependence on breast milk is not as strong during the day.
